Premium Features:

Discreet Installation

The PASSPORT 9500ci with all-new ShifterPro sensors provides the ultimate in discreet operation. Included sensors are mounted in the front grill area of your vehicle (rear shifters optional). Interior control module and display are separated for multiple installation options. The result is no messy cords and no unwanted attention.

Breakthrough Radar Performance

PASSPORT's twin-antenna design sets a new standard for long-range protection. This patented design is completely undetectable, making it the perfect choice for those who like to run unnoticed. All North American radar bands are covered, including "POP" radar.

PASSPORT's AutoSensitivity mode varies radar sensitivity based on your vehicle's speed. The result is radar performance when needed most.

Mark Location

The PASSPORT 9500ci's "Mark Location" feature enables the user to manually mark known speed traps, camera locations, or anything else worth noting. Once stored in its memory, the 9500ci will provide sufficient warning for all of these points of interest.

Adaptive Signal Processing

Escort's new Adaptive Signal Processing system uses GPS technology to automatically "learn" (by exact location and frequency) each radar signal and determine if it's a real threat or not. This data is updated real-time during your drive, and provides the most accurate alert system possible. The result is the most accurate long-range protection in the industry and a permanent solution to false alarms. You drive. It learns. End of story. Nothing could be easier.

DISCLAIMER FOR RADAR/LASER DETECTORS

Due to state laws, Sonic Electronix, Inc can not ship radar detectors to Virginia or the District of Columbia. Not intended for use outside North America.

INSTALLATION DISCLAIMER

Some vehicles may require optional mounting brackets or additional labor due to the complexity of the vehicle. Most European and exotic cars, Mercedes, Jaguar, Porsche, Audi just to name a few, enclose their engine compartments with additional noise suppression. This makes running wires and mounting units in these vehicles more difficult. Mounting the interior control box behind a dash panel or altering it to fit in a certain area is considered a custom installation.

Yes

Brightness Control

If the brightness of the unit can be conveniently adjusted and controlled, it will be listed here.

Yes

Turn-on/off Select Bands

Many radar detectors can detect many different bands of signal. This feature designates if the user can select what bands he or she has on or off.

Yes

Unit Mounting

Different radar detector are attached to the vehicle in different ways. The most common is for it to be suction-cupped to the windshield. This allows the unit to be moved from one vehicle to another with ease. Another mounting option is called remote-mounting. A remote mount unit is directly installed into your vehicle.

Other ways to mount your radar detector include Velcro and adhesive.

Suction cups

Power Source

The power source is the method in which the unit receives power. Some units will be powered by batteries, while others will need to be plugged in to an AC or DC power source.

Integrated 12V DC

Direct Power Accessory

If there is an optional accessory to the unit that will provide power, it will be listed here.

Yes

Travel Case Included

If a protective travel case is included, it will be listed here.

No

Detection

Number of Detected Bands

This number indicates the number of bands the radar/laser detector protects against. The term band includes different radars, lasers, and safety signals, among others. The higher the number, the greater the protection.

Multi-band

X Band

X Band is a frequency used for detecting speed from a police radar.

Yes

K Band

K Band is the most popular radar frequency band that is used today. It is able to detect speeds from a stand still location, or from a moving vehicle

Yes

Ka Band

Ka Band operates within the frequencies 26.5-40 GHz. This is the newest introduced radar band and it is becoming more and more popular. It rarely has a false alert.

Yes

Laser

This feature specifies if the unit will detect lasers.

Yes

VG-2 Immunity

The VG-2 detects radar detectors. Radar detectors with VG-2 immunity will be immune to the VG-2 radar and alert the driver when they are under such surveillance.

Yes

Pop Alert

Some radar guns operate in a POP mode so they can get a speed reading of a target vehicle extremely fast, resulting in most radar detectors not being able to consistently signal an alert. There are very few radar guns in service in the U.S. capable of POP mode operation. If your radar detector is Pop Alert capable, you may notice an increase in Ka-band false alerts when POP mode radar detection is switched on.
